"Listen to the howl of our spiritual brother, the wolf, for how it goes with him, so it goes for the natural world."  
--Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders


If we watch nature, we can tell a lot about what is going on in the world. The animals and the plants are great teachers. Some time ago, crops were sprayed with a poison to kill the insects. Other animals ate the insects. The small animals were eaten by the Eagles and the Wolves. We live in an interconnected system. What we do to one, we do to all. If our spiritual brothers are living in balance, chances are we humans are also living in balance.  


Great Spirit, let me listen to my Earth teachers, the plants and the animals.

"In the end I tell my children, there's no way I can tell you how to be an Acoma, how to be an Indian. You have to experience it."

--Stanley Paytiamo, ACOMA PUEBLO  

Each person must make their own journey. It is like every human is given a life canoe. The canoe has one seat and one paddle. In order to get anything out of life we must be in the canoe and we must paddle down the river of life. Now, I can share with you how my journey has been, but I cannot paddle your canoe. You must paddle your own. Good luck!  


Creator, I'm so glad I have You to guide my path.

 "I've had a long regard for generational things: pottery, cultural things, participation in dancing, extended family. Only in that way does culture survive; only in that way is culture active.
--Tessie Naranjo, SANTA CLARA PUEBLO  

Culture teaches us how to live and it ensures that knowledge about life is handed down from generation to generation. Culture gives us the feeling of belonging. It helps us raise our family in a good way. It teaches us how to treat one another. Culture sets boundaries for societies. We need to develop our culture. If we have left our culture, then we need to come back to it. Culture leads us back to the Great Spirit. Sometimes in our lives, we leave what we know works and experiment with something else. Then we get into trouble. So we need to come back home. Indian people are lucky to have a culture to return to.  


Creator, thank you for the culture. Let me live it today.

"And that, I guess, is what it all boils down to-do the right thing, everything goes fine; do the wrong thing, everything's a mess."  
--Robert Spott, YUROK  

The Elders say every person is born with free will and every person has a specific purpose to accomplish during their life time. When our life is relatively free from obstacles we are walking the path of God's will. If our life is full of obstacles, we are not doing the will of God. Often, the Great Spirit guides us through a system of coincidences. We need to pay attention to coincidences. If we are aware of these, we often can recognize the path which God is showing us. We need to pray and ask Him to show us the path in terms we can understand.  

Oh, Great Mystery, let me recognize the coincidences.

"A man should rely on his own resources; the one who so trains himself is ready for any emergency."      
--Oral Tradition, OMAHA

Man is designed to function independently and to rely on the Creator for his resources. If we build our relationship with the Great Spirit, we are ready when emergencies occur. We need to build a trusting relationship with the Creator. We do this by constantly talking with the Creator. It's good to talk to Him many times a day. Then we will realize, even though we can't see Him, that He is always with us and He is ready to respond to our requests.

God, let me remember to talk to You many times today.

"We as men should not fear our mates; we should listen to their counsel."

--Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders  

The Elders say the men should look at women in a sacred way. The men should never put women down or shame them in any way. When we have problems, we should seek their counsel. We should share with them openly. A woman has intuitive thought. She has access to another system of knowledge that few men develop. She can help us understand. We must treat her in a good way.  


Great Spirit, let me look upon the woman in a good way.

"The Natural Law will prevail regardless of man-made laws, tribunals and governments."

--Traditional Circle of Elders, NAVAJO-HOPI Joint Use Area


The Great Spirit made Laws by which Man needs to live. These Laws are just and are about living in harmony. Man has passed many laws that say it is okay to do things. Many of these man-made laws are out of harmony with the Laws of the Great Spirit. These man-made laws will cause trouble for the human being if they are out of harmony with the Laws of the Creator.  


Great Spirit, teach me Your Laws.

"Come forward and join hands with us in this great work for the Creator."

--Traditional Circle of Elders, NORTHERN CHEYENNE


The Elders have spent years learning to pray and communicate with the Great Spirit. Their job is to pass this knowledge onto the young people. The Elders have told us we are now in a great time of healing. The Creator is guiding them to help the young people figure this out. We must get involved and participate. We should pray and see what it is the Great Spirit wants us to do. We need to sacrifice our time to help the people and to be of maximum use to the Creator. Every person is needed to accomplish this great healing.  


Creator, whisper what You want me to do.

ČAS ZA ŽIVLJENJE


To je zgodba o dveh prijateljih, ki sta skupaj hodila po puščavi.

Naenkrat sta se sporekla in eden udari drugega.



Udarjeni se je počutil ponižano, a je brez besed to napisal na pesek:

"DANES SEM DOBIL UDAREC OD MOJEGA NAJBOLJŠEGA PRIJATELJA!"



Nadaljevala sta svojo pot po puščavi in prispela do oaze, kjer sta se

odločila, da se bosta okopala. Tisti, ki je dobil udarec je skoraj

utonil v globoki vodi, a ga je njegov sopotnik rešil.

Ko je ponesrečeni prišel k zavesti, je brez besed vgraviral v skalo besede:

DANES MI JE MOJ NAJBOLJŠI PRIJATELJ REŠIL ŽIVLJENJE!"



Njegov sopotnik ga je potem vprašal: "Ko sem te udaril, si to napisal na

pesek; zdaj pa, ko sem ti rešil življenje, pa si to izklesal v skalo.

Zakaj?







Prijatelj mu je odgovoril: "Ko nekdo stori kaj slabega, moramo to

zapisati v pesek, da lahko potem veter to slabost izbriše; ALI, ko nekdo

stori kaj DOBREGA, moramo to vgravirati v kamen, da potem tega ne more

nihče več izbrisati!"





NAUČI SE ZAPISOVATI RANE V PESEK, A SREČO VGRAVIRATI V KAMEN.







Pravijo, da je potrebna ena minuta, da spoznaš pravo osebo, ena ura, da

jo začneš ceniti, cel dan, da ti postane draga, ALI CELO ŽIVLJENJE, da

jo pozabiš.



Pošlji to pismo vsem, ki jih ne boš nikoli pozabil; pri tem ne pozabi

poslati pisma tistemu od katerega si ga prejel. To pismo jim sporoča, da

jih ne boš nikoli pozabil.



Če tega sporočila ne pošlje nikomur, to pomeni, da si v svojem

življenju zelo zaseden in da si na poti, da pozabiš svoje prijatelje.





NAJDI ČAS ZA ŽIVLJENJE....



uživajte!

"Peace... comes within the souls of men when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the Universe dwells Wakan-Tanka, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."

--Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa) OGLALA SIOUX  

If we are to know peace we must look within ourselves. In order to do this, we must learn to be still. We must quiet the mind. We must learn to meditate. Meditation helps us locate and find the center that is within ourselves. The center is where the Great One resides. When we start to look for peace, we need to realize where it is within ourselves. When we experience conflict we need to pause for a moment and ask the Power within ourselves, "How do you want me to handle this? What would you suggest I do in this situation?" By asking the High Power for help we find peace.  


Creator, help me to find peace.

"In order for our children to survive in the world, they need a firm understanding and belief in the basic principles of sharing freedom and respect of individuality."

--Haida Gwaii, Traditional Circle of Elders  

There is a saying: Tell me, I'll forget; Show me, I'll remember; Engage me; I'll understand. The adults need to determine what the younger generation is the learn. The principle of sharing keeps the youth from being greedy and selfish. The principle of freedom teaches the youth about choices, decisions and consequences. The principle of respect keeps us from playing God and becoming a controller of all things. We need to learn theses lessons so we may demonstrate them for our children.  


Great Teacher, help me to understand Your principles.

"In our language there is no word to say inferior or superiority or equality because we are equal; it's a known fact. But life has become very complicated since the newcomers came here. And how does your spirit react to it?. It's painful. You have to be strong to walk through the storm. I know I'm a bridge between two worlds. All I ask is for people to wash their feet before they try to walk on me."

--Alanis Obomsawin, ABENAKI  

For native people who speak their language, English can be very confusing. Many times you cannot express in English the true meaning of Indian words. When we hear something in English we sometimes react or our spirit reacts. Sometimes we need to use English words out of order to express our true meanings. We need to be patient and pray. Living in two worlds can be difficult. Life is painful sometimes. The pain of life is where the lessons are learned.  


Creator, let me learn the lessons You have taught my people.

"Male and female is fundamental to life; partners in work to be done."
--Oren R. Lyons, Spokesman, Traditional Circle of Elders

The Great Spirit created a system which would allow us to reproduce, to have companionship, to love, to laugh, to cry and be happy. Man and Woman each have gifts the other doesn't have. But, together they have these gifts to share with each other. The Great Spirit made it this way. So let us treat each other with respect. Let us look upon each other in a sacred way.  

Grandfather, Grandmother, bring the spirits to teach us.

"People are equal partners with the plants and animals, not their masters who exploit them."

--Haida Gwaii, Traditional Circle of Elders  

As human beings, we are not above anything nor are we below anything. Because of being equal, we need to discuss a little about the value of respect. Not just respect when it comes to human beings, but respect when it comes to everything. We are not masters over things; we are caretakers for the Great Spirit. We need to treat all things with respect.  


Great Spirit, let me accept and see all things as equal.
